Another Reason The SCOTUS Makes No Sense To Me
I woulda gone to law school if the texts had more pictures...
Stepping way out of my wheelhouse here, but why not...
Do I have a lawyer who reads this blog who can explain this to me?
So Pete Williams is saying the SCOTUS doesn't want to take on the "question" of marriage equity. And it is refusing to hear cases where it would have to render a decision on the constitutionality of denying gays and lesbians the right to marry. OK...
But since 1803 and Marbury v. Madison, the SCOTUS has accrued to itself the power - a power not enumerated in the Constitution - to review acts of Congress to find if they are compatible with the Constitution.
How can the Supreme Court possibly justify having the power to void laws if they are unconstitutional,
